how to make a butterfly cake

i LOVE creative food ideas (in fact i am going to start another blog soon so i can bookmark all my favorites for future use). this butterfly cake is so easy and you don’t even need a fancy cake pan.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Make the cake batter according to the directions on the package. Bake in a greased 9-inch cake pan. Once baked, remove from pan and cool.

2. Cut the cake in half. Arrange the cake on a serving platter, turning the halves so that the rounded sides touch. To shape the wings, cut out a 1-inch triangle from each straight side, 2-inches from the bottom.

3. Completely frost the cake with the icing. Design a mosaic pattern with M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for Easter, and then press them into the top of the cake.

4. To make the butterfly’s antennae, unwrap and soften the STARBURST® Brand FUN SIZE® Fruit Chews for Easter in the microwave for approximately 5 seconds. Then roll the candy into thin ropes and place them at the top of the butterfly.

easy, right? for more details visit brightideas.com

night night!

i just put Rexford down for bed. he was laughing like it was play time…then laughter turned to tears! he always wants to play. Rex is a really big boy at just about 4 months so i let him sleep in just a diaper. he gets much less sweaty this way. nighty-night!

my book arrived!

My Frugal Findings: FREE Photobooks!

Hey guys today I thought I ‘d share with you two ways to get Photobooks for FREE! Photobooks are usually pricey but these promotional offers are great because you only have to pay shipping. Photobooks make unique gifts and are an awesome way to document “chapters” of your life.

Currently you can get a FREE 8×5.5″ 16 page photo book from Pixable! These books regularly sell for $24.95! Shipping will run between $2.99 &$5.99 depending on what book you choose (either soft or hard cover). The best part is Pixable uses photos from your Facebook account, so it makes your job extremely easy! You can also use photos from your PC, Flikr, or Picassa. CLICK HERE for more information and promo code.

Also Piccaboo is offering a FREE photobook, but this offer ends tomorrow 8/31! Right now you can get the Classic Hardcover Photo Book ($39.95) for FREE from Picaboo!! I have heard nothing but great things about this company, and their photo books are extremely high quality, so to see this promotion for one for FREE is awesome!! Plus, with Picaboo you have lots of options when it comes to personalizing your photobook. They have a lot of different backgrounds, custom covers, layouts, etc! Again, you do have to pay shipping which is $8.99. CLICK HERE for more information and promo code!
